Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Neither cold (oute yuxrov). Old word from yuxw, to grow cold (Matthew 24:12), in N.T. only Matthew 10:42 and this passage.
Nor hot (oute zestov). Late verbal from zew, to boil, (Romans 12:11), boiling hot, here only in N.T.
I would thou wert (ofelon hv). Wish about the present with ofelon (really wfelon, second aorist active indicative of ofeilw, without augment) with the imperfect hv (instead of the infinitive) as in 2 Corinthians 11:1, when the old Greek used eiqe or ei gar. See 1 Corinthians 4:8 for the aorist indicative and Galatians 5:12 for the future.
